This Squire build guide provides talent templates for a durable fighter and master of the World 3 construction skill. Including a summary of the critical talents and detailed information on how each talent benefits your progression this guide is designed for both new players to combine with our Warrior and mining build pages.
Table of Contents:
– Damage Build
– Construction Build

Damage Build
These talent recommendations optimise AFK and active combat power. As the Squire primarily gains damage from refinery ranks their damage scaling will be notably slower than your other characters initially as this is a time based mechanicl
The Squire combat build priority order is:
| Talent | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Shockwave Slash |
Slash forward causing a shockwave which deals damage to multiple enemies | The core attack skill that damages enemies in front, boosting AFK gains and useful used in active Idleon combat activities. I recommend 50 points initially before moving onto other priority talents below and maxing this later if additional attack damage is needed or you run out of other talents. |
Daggerang |
Throw a dagger that comes back to you dealing damage to multiple enemies | Another strong area of effect Squire attack I recommend players follow the same logic as Shockwave Slash above with 50 points initially. |
Precision Power |
+% Damage per refinery rank if accuracy is 1.5x 100% enemy hit chance requirement | The primary Squire damage source this scales with your refinery ranks that come slowly with game time. This talent also requires that players have 1.5 the monsters accuracy requirements which means it may not always trigger when players are pushing maps aggressively. |
Mastery Up |
+% Mastery (minimum damage) | Minimum damage is factored into your Idleon AFK combat gains so this is a potential source to improve your overall kills for higher loot and experience gain. |
Sharper Saws |
+% Construction experience | Construction is a critical skill in Idleon as there are a number of buildings to buff your progression and provide quality of life features. Construction levels have the biggest boost to your build rate speed so this should be levelled even on your combat build. |
Redox Rates |
+% Build speed per power of 10 Redox Salts in storage | With the importance of construction the additional build speed provided by this talent is important even on your combat build to maximise progression in this skill. |
Blocky Bottles |
Each level of Warriors Rule bubble raises max level of Meat Shank | Allowing players to push their Meat Shank talent further this is a reasonable source of damage provided you have the talent points and alchemy progression on the Warriors Rule bubble. |
STR Summore |
+ Max talent level for Fist of Rage | Strength is the last source of damage available to the Squire although like Blocky Bottles above players need sufficient talent points in their previous talent tabs to use this.
If you are short on talent points this should be levelled alongside Back to Basics to ensure sufficient points are available. |
Back To Basics |
+ Talent points for the Warrior talent tab | With two talents that require Warrior talent points above this is often important for players that are progressing to add extra talent points. Later game when talent points become abundant this can always be skipped based on your account specifics. |
Shieldiest Statues |
Power, Mining and Defence statues give +% larger bonus | Boosting the effects of Power statues that are a damage increase this is another small place to gain damage on the Squire combat build. |
Fistful of Obol |
Obols give +% more STR | Obols provide small values of STR which can be increased with this talent although the lowest priority as the benefit is minor. |
Construction Build
Your Squire construction build should be on the same talent preset as mining talents. This build is particularly important to overcome the initial World 3 bottleneck of salt refining by actively using Refinery Throttle from this preset each day.
The skill talent investment for your Squire construction build in priority order is:
| Talent | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Refinery Throttle |
Automatically triggers refinery cycles | An important talent that should be diligently used each day as part of your Idleon daily activities given salt is a major factor in how fast you can progress through World 3. With higher levels increasing the number of cycles that are triggered maximum points here is critical. |
Sharper Saws |
+% Construction experience | Similar to the combat build we always want to be maxing construction experience as levels are a major contributor to construction build speed. |
Redox Rates |
+% Build speed per power of 10 Redox Salts in storage | Another source of build speed increase to improve your pace of progression through the World 3 skill. |
Super Samples |
+% Sample size when taking 3D printer samples | Sampling is a World 3 mechanic that allows players to automatically generate a percentage of skilling gains. This talent boosts the percentage of your real AFK skilling gains players can produce and thus buffs your mining printer gains. |
Shieldiest Statues |
Power, Mining and Defence statues give +% larger bonus | Boosting Mining statues for higher ore gains for the Squire and grows in power as you farm Mining statues. |
STR Summore |
+ Max talent level for Fist of Rage | Strength provides a small boost to mining efficiency although players also need sufficient Warrior talent points to capitalise on this. |
Fistful of Obol |
Obols give +% more STR | Obols have small boosts to STR that makes this the last albeit small potential boost to mining gains. |
Back To Basics |
+ Talent points for the Warrior talent tab | If players require extra Warrior talent points this can be levelled as necessary. |
